18 Vehicle Harness Wiring Instructions Step 1: Take harness assembly and route from the rear of the vehicle to the front. Route harness along frame and attach to frame holes and frame supports. It is not recommended to attach to fuel or brake lines for obvious reasons. Do not route close to exhaust system or engine, even though Trynex uses high temperature wiring, it still could melt under extreme heat and short the spreader electrical system, as well as the vehicle electrical system. Step 2: Mount rear plug on bumper using supplied bolts, locate towards the center of the bumper to reduce the amount of debris the tires will throw to the rear. Important: Apply a small amount of dielectric grease to the plug. Also try to mount so plug faces upward to help keep plugs tightly sealed. Step 3: Secure harness from the rear to the front using heavy duty ty-wraps or frame clips along the frame and lighter duty ty-wraps everywhere else. Step 4: Layout harness portion that connects to the battery along the fire wall and fender well. Do not connect power leads to battery yet. Drill a 3/4" hole in the fire wall, or use existing access hole, for the control portion of the harness and route connector and harness through hole. Be sure to check the area on the other side of the fire wall to make sure you are not going to drill into the vehicle harness or a control module. Generally you can drill on either side of the steering wheel for a good location. Step 4A: The power harness from control box to battery will need to be routed from the inside of the cab to the battery this results from the large high amperage connector. Route leads with lugs to battery do not connect power at this time. Step 5: Connect harness to the back of the controller and mount to a suitable location. NOTE: You may want to contact customer before mounting controller, some prefer not to have holes drilled into the dashboard. Ty-wrap loose controller harness and move to the engine compartment. Do not mount close to any heater vents. Step 6: Connect power leads to the battery: Red + Positive, Black Negative, always connect to the primary battery if using a dual battery system, secure loose loom to any other large or medium vehicle harness with medium duty ty-wraps this will secure wiring harness. Step 7: Install ignition wire to an auxiliary circuit that is hot when the ignition key is turned to ON position or direct to the battery. This wire is 60" long and has a female terminal attached to it. This wire will plug into back of controller. This wire must be installed in order for controller to work. Step 8: Push the ON/OFF button on the controller to check for power, when that has been confirmed turn power OFF. The electrical portion of the installation is complete. NOTE: If adding an inline fuse, use a 60 amp slow blow fuse L1159 Trynex International 2006

25 V-Maxx 8500 Mounting Instructions Step 1: Remove tailgate from pickup bed. Step 2: Load spreader on to truck bed and mount spinner assembly. Step 3: Slide spreader forward until deflector/chute assembly makes contact with vehicle. Then, slide spreader back approx. 1" to allow for proper clearance. Step 4: Install stop bars using supplied hole patterns (see Fig.2). To achieve the best position, you may need to drill additional holes in bracket in order to properly position spreader. Step 5: Now that the spreader is located front to back, you will now center it left to right. Looking at the inside front and rear corner area of the lower frame area, you will notice (4) holes in the bottom of the frame. Using a paint pen or similar marking device, mark hole locations. Step 6: Before drilling holes, look beneath the approximate area where each hole will be located. Make sure there are no vehicle components that will be in the path of the drill before doing this step. If there are interferences, you can relocate holes as needed making sure there are at least two forward and two rearward of the front to back centerline. Step 7: Install and tighten all (4) bolts. Step 8: Install ratchet straps (see V-Maxx 8500 Mounting System: Strapping Techniques). It is very important for everyone s safety this strapping method be used as the standard mounting procedure. (Do not use ratchet straps exclusively.) Step 9: Connect the spreader power cord to vehicle main power plug mounted at rear of vehicle (see Electrical Installation). Step 10: Connect Center High Mount Stop Lamp (CHMSL) cord from the spreader to mating half attached to vehicle (see Electrical Installation). Trynex International 2006 L

26 Operating the Spreader PREPARATION CAUTION Sweep area clear of foreign objects or obstacles that could cause personal injury. Keep other persons, children, or t animals ou of the area to be spread. SPREADER LOADING WARNING Do not overload vehicle. Use chart below to calculate weight of material. Weights of material are an average for. dry materials Material Rock Salt Sand/Salt Mix Weight Per Cubic Ft lbs lbs. Be sure to comply with manufacturer s maximum gross vehicle weight ratings. Warning Never leave materials in hopper for long periods of time as salt is hygroscopic and will attract atmospheric moisture and harden up. When spreading sand mix, a 1:1 ratio for Sand/Salt mix is recommended to prevent the material from freezing. SPREADING TIPS Never exceed 10 m.p.h. when spreading. For a wider pass, increase spinner speed. For a heavier pass, drive slower, or increase auger speed. Never operate spreader near pedestrians. Spread ice melters with the storm to prevent unmanageable levels of ice. Calculate spread pattern when near vegetation. V-MAXX 8500 CONTROL OPERATION The Dual Variable Speed Control has dual finger-tip dials for maximum performance, digital system status with warning tion and protec built-in Vibrator Switch. To start, press power switch on controller and spreader will accelerate to speed set on spinner and auger dials. To stop, press power switch on controller to off position. Speed of auger and spinner may be adjusted separately to get desired flow and spread distance from spreader. The Vibrator Switch is needed for dense material or to increase the flow to the auger. This eliminates bridging in of hopper. material In case spreader becomes jammed, it will go into an auto-reverse program to free itself. Auger display will show (AR) while trying to clear obstruction L1159 Trynex International 2006

27 Operating the Spreader (continued) BAFFLE INSTRUCTIONS The V-Maxx 8500 uses a dual baffle design over the auger area. This baffle (D6809) is used for dry bulk materials. The baffle is designed to reduce the risk of leakage with clean/dry free-flowing materials. If the material you are using is damp/wet, you may need to remove baffle (D6809). This will allow for more un-restricted flow of materials and possible bridging. WARNING: Always disconnect power source before attempting to remove material baffle. The main baffle assembly (D 6808) MUST never be removed from its original factory installed position unless the unit is being serviced or installing Optiflow Kit. D6809 BAFFLE EXTENSION INSTRUCTIONS The Baffle Extension is installed at the time of assembly. The main purpose of this baffle is to keep dry, free-flowing material from leaking out. If you plan on using damp/wet materials, you should remove this baffle by removing the self-drilling screws. If you are using a sand/salt mixture, remove baffle extension.

28 Operating the Spreader (continued) WARNING PROTECTION If audible beeping occurs, read display to identify problem. If display reads OL (overload) or OH (overheat). Shut controller down and carefully clear jammed auger. If display reads E1 this means there is a dead short in system. Do not use until problem is corrected. If display reads E 0 this means that the motor is not getting any power. Check all connections. If display reads LB the vehicle battery is extremely low (possibly caused by a poor or corroded connection) and could damage the system. If there are any problems while operating the spreader, refer to Troubleshooting Guide. AUTO-REVERSE AR FUNCTION If your controller displays OL this could indicate a jammed auger. To engage the Auto-Reverse AR function: Step 1: Shut the Main Power Switch OFF for 3 seconds. Step 2: Turn the Main Power Switch ON. When the machine starts back up the AR sequence will automatically start and the auger will reverse for several rotations to clear the jam. After a pause of several moments, the auger will automatically return to correct rotation. If the jam is still not cleared, the controller will again display OL. You may repeat Steps 1 & 2 for a second and third time. If after the third try the controller displays OL you must extract the material that is causing the problem. Follow all warning directions when clearing jams L1159 Trynex International 2006
